10 November 2016

Tikit has been awarded ISO 9001:2008 accreditation for all of its Own IP support offices in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Tikit is a global provider of technology solutions to legal and accountancy firms. Today Tikit announced that it has achieved global ISO 9001:2008 accreditation for its global support desks. Tikit’s support procedures were rigorously audited by an external body to ensure that the principles of the ISO standard are being upheld by all of Tikit’s own IP Support staff around the world.

Simon Hill, Chief Operating Officer at Tikit commented that “this global accreditation sets Tikit apart from other vendors and highlights us as having a market leading Support Desk, with a dedicated and highly skilled team behind it. With this accreditation, along with our Support Team consistently achieving 96% and over in our monthly customer satisfaction survey, it is proof of our ongoing commitment to cultivating a philosophy of continuous improvement.”

ISO 9001:2008 is based on eight quality management principles:

Customer Focus

Leadership

Involvement of People

Process Approach

System Approach to Management

Continual Improvement

Fact Based Decision-making

Mutually Beneficial Supplier Relationships

The auditor commented in his final review that “The system in place is robust and well managed, improvement is a well-established culture where these are undertaken continually in response to issues raised by customers and through their own internal audit and review processes. During the audit all those interviewed were very knowledgeable about their roles and the processes followed.”

This internationally recognised standard is used by Tikit’s support team as a method of structuring its quality management procedures so that the team can run efficiently, effectively and provide exceptional customer service.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency – a digital currency that uses cryptographic techniques to regulate the generation of units and to verify the transfer of funds. It is largely anonymous and unregulated, and underpinned by a digital ledger technology known as blockchain. In terms of the market, there is a limit of 21m Bitcoin that can ever be created. It is very narrowly held, with an estimated 40% of Bitcoin held by just 1,000 ‘investors’ and only a third having been traded in the last year. However, there are also a number of synthetic products through which one can gain access to Bitcoin, including contracts for difference, ETFs (exchange-traded funds) and, as of December, exchange-traded futures.
